Chapter 20

In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of
Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took it;
2At the same
time spake the Lord by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the
sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did
so, walking naked and barefoot.
3And the Lord said, Like as my servant
Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and
wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;
4So shall the king of Assyria lead
away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old,
naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame
of Egypt.
5And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their
expectation, and of Egypt their glory.
6And the inhabitant of this isle
shall say in that day, Behold, such is our expectation, whither we
flee for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we
escape?
